Merging all things business with the latest in technology. This is The Purple Tie Show. The Purple Tie is a marketing and web development company located in Decatur, Alabama. We specialize in small to medium size businesses in need of a website and/or online marketing. This podcast is a weekly show that features Robert Martin and Blake Singleton discussing marketing, technology, and all manner of side tangents.

For the first time that I can think of, we’re going
to discuss our recording setup! Exciting, no? Maybe, maybe not.
We’re rocking a Scarlett 2i2 that plugs directly into our
2015 iMac 27”. We’re using AKG P420 Microphones that connect via XLR
cables to the 2i2. And our headsets that assist us while we’re
recording are Audiotechnica ATH-M20x. All of this is a few
years old now, but they work and sound amazing. Of course, if
you’re looking to get into podcasting, look no further than the
Blue Yeti. It’s an awesome USB mic with a jack in for headphones so
you can monitor yourself while you’re recording. If you’ve got a
bit more money to invest, check out the Rode Podcaster Kit. That’s what we got for the
office to record voice overs and videos.

There is an extensive conversation covering customer
expectations. I’m not outlining all of it here, so listen on and
enjoy.

We talk about Chatfuel.com and
their awesome chatbot software. It is really very easy to setup, if
not a bit time consuming, but once it’s up and running, you’re free
to go about your day without having to worry about answering the
same questions over and over again.
